2018 is My Year to Thrive

I really love this time of year. It’s a time for new beginnings and looking ahead to the future. As I do each year, I took some time to sit down and reflect on the past year and write down my goals for the new year.

After reviewing my goals and thinking about my life for the past year, I decided that the my theme for 2018 is going to be “Thrive”.Thrive is defined as “to grow or develop vigorously; flourish”. This word speaks to me, because I want this year to be one of growth, personal discovery, and getting out of my comfort zone.

In the spirit of accountability and openness, I’m going to share my goals with you. I tried to make my goals SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-based), particularly focusing on the realistic aspect. I also categorized them under 5 sub-themes: Health, Personal Growth, Adventure, Resilience, and Financial.
